What Should Investors Do?

Prashanth Tapse, Sr VP Research - Research Analyst at Mehta Equities said, "Despite a subdued market along with 100% OFS, Vishal Mega Mart listing was in line with market expectation. I believe retail investors missed this opportunity wherein they had shown less interest in bidding. 33.33% premium over the issue price of ₹78 Listing is justified as we believe it was all because of reasonable valuations when compared to its listed peers and high focus towards catering to India's growing middle- and lower-middle-income demographics which is strategically focused on underpenetrated markets."

He added, that considering the volatility in the market sentiments and all other parameters, allotted conservative investors can think of booking profits today, while long-term risk-taking investors can consider the company to HOLD IT FOR LONG TERM despite knowing short-term volatility & risk in the markets. For non-allotted investors, we advise to accumulate if we get dips post-listing due to profit booking attempts.

On BSE and NSE, Vishal Mega Mart is rivalling against Avenue Supermarts (DMart) and Trent.
